An 8-week program designed for kids interested in learning and developing racing skills and improving overall skiing technique. Must be able to ski all Ski Sundown trails comfortably. As the season progresses, participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of gate training and NASTAR racing culmination with a timed race on Gunbarrel. At the end of the program the coaches will provide an assessment of each participant's readiness to pursue competitive ski racing.

Skill Level InformationYou MUST provide Skill Level information for every child that participates in a lesson program so that we can place them in a group of children of similar ability. Please go to My Account and under Skier/Snowboarder Profile enter a ski or snowboard skill level for each child (see below to determine skill level). The information may already be on file. Please make sure it is an honest and accurate assessment of their current abilities. Thank you!
